For garden gnomes, at least.
Thanks to the code requirements for the depth of the foundation's footing, there's plenty of headroom in the crawlspace. Its all nicely lit right now since the floor isn't installed, but that will change "soon".
It's a bit early isn't it? Shouldn't you be hibernating still? Oh wait, you'll just slither back from whence you came.....under the house......IN THE CRAWLSPACE:(

At 0223 on Friday, May 21, 2021, the Sacramento Regional Fire & EMS Communications Center (SRFECC) dispatched Sacramento Metropolitan and City Fire units to a reported commercial structure fire at 6530 Florin Road, Skip’s Fish & Chicken, in Fire Station 53’s response area. Engine 53 arrived on scene first and reported smoke showing from the “D” side (right-hand side of facing the front door) of the structure. They initiated an aggressive interior fire attack and located fire in the attic space of the structure. Due to difficulty accessing the crawlspace in the attic, firefighters were unable to immediately put water on the seat of the fire, and eventually interior conditions deteriorated to the point that it was unsafe to continue in an offensive strategy. Crews were removed from the building and a defensive operation was declared. A second alarm was called to the scene, bringing additional engines, ladder trucks, command and support units to the scene. Crews cut holes in the siding of the attic, and were eventually able to apply water to the seat of the fire using hand lines. The fire was brought under control and crews are currently in overhaul mode. One lane of Westbound Florin Road is closed between Stockton Boulevard and Lindale Drive. There is no estimated time of reopening. Crews limited fire damage to the original building, preserving another commercial occupancy directly adjacent. No injuries have been reported as a result of the incident.

My two roommates and I live on the upper two floors of a three-story, recently-remodeled turn-of-the-century house in northeast Minneapolis, about a mile north of downtown and a few blocks from the eastern bank of the Mississippi River.
I moved back to Minneapolis and into the finished attic last October. Ever since the weather got cold, there have been strange noises coming from the walls of the attic: rustling late at night, the occasional chirp or rummaging sounds of some foraging creature. We always figured, perhaps hoped, it was some small grey squirrels that lived in the unfinished, inaccessible nooks behind the walls. But the sounds always hinted that it was something much bigger than an average squirrel.
At some point in late December or early January, a turf war was fought amongst the creatures. There were crazed bouts of animals crashing and scampering around, muffled growls and cries, all of which took place in the frigid, pre-dawn hours and would, on occasion, awaken me from my slumber.
We contacted our landlord who resolved to take care of the problem by putting out blocks of green rat poison in the crawlspace of the attic. When I checked on the blocks a few days later, they were gone, presumably eaten by the animals. Our suspicions were seemingly confirmed later on that evening, when we heard sounds coming from behind the wall which could only be described as muffled death spasms. Weeks of silence ensued.
Wednesday of last week, however, a quiet afternoon was interrupted by the sound of an animal crashing about upstairs. I ran to the attic and threw open the window on the south side of our house. From this vantage, it is possible to see a basketball-sized hole along the edge of our roof. As our landlord intends to rebuild the roof this spring, he had not fixed the opening.
I leaned my head out the window so I could fully see the hole. Staring back at me, about seven or eight feet away, separated by open space, was the masked face of a raccoon sticking up out of the opening and looking inquisitively at me. I darted my head back into the house, closed the window and ran downstairs, yelling to my roommates that the creature was not a squirrel but a raccoon, a very big raccoon.
Shaking with excitement, I hastily fumbled a telephoto lens onto my camera and bolted back upstairs. I quietly slid the window open and aimed the big black lens at the raccoon, who, startled, had momentarily ducked his head back into the roof and out of sight. Soon, however, curiosity had overcome his fear, and he emerged from the hole to look at me. I snapped only a few shots before the clacking of the camera’s shutter had scared him back into the hole and away from view. I hung around for a few more minutes, hoping the raccoon would return, but he didn’t by the time the late afternoon sun had faded away.
I called our landlord later on in evening to tell him about my encounter. He stopped by the next morning with a large live trap which he baited with fish and placed by the fence. But as I look outside as I write this, the trap remains empty.
UPDATE 3/17/2009
The empty sardine can sat mockingly in the center of the live trap. The fish were gone but the raccoon was nowhere to be seen. His rummaging, though, could once again be heard in the attic at all hours, so in the dead of night I crept downstairs and re-baited the trap with pieces of venison.
In the cold, foggy morning, as I left the house with my camera in tow, a mass of banded fur awaited me in the trap. The raccoon! I victoriously snapped some photos and called our landlord, who promptly drove out and picked up the beast. I have been sleeping soundly ever since.
SOUTH LOS ANGELES - At noon on July 2, 2025, LAFD fire companies, USAR crews, and HazMat specialists responded to the 300 block of East Olympic Blvd and initiated a confined space operation to rescue a civilian trapped in a crawlspace beneath the street. Companies coordinated efforts for approximately 90 minutes to extricate the patient and then transport him to the hospital in fair condition.

Not the most flattering description of Dave for which I hope he'll forgive me!
Sadly the boiler is misbehaving again which means it needs draining down for investigation.
I may have explained before that draining it - for now at least - means entering this crawl space at the very top of the house and manually obstructing a float valve.
The space is small and I am not. Being considerably more svelte than I, I asked Dave if he could help me out when he visited with Carol and Robert today.
Blessedly he obliged me, and the boiler is now empty of water. Tomorrow I collect the parts to, if nothing else, fit an isolation valve to prevent further such gymnastics in the future!
With the construction ending FINALLY, and Carolyn finishing up the painting, she realized the crawlspace was a mess and so she decided to get our spare cables organized. The clear plastic comfortor bgas, with zippers, are the absolute best thing to store large collections of cables in. Medium collections store best in large ziplock bags. Cable types are sorted into labeled bags. It was crazy, but it was worth it because it was much easier to find everything after it was all organized. And it was surprising how many cables we'd pulled from the crawlspace within the next 6 months -- a few of these bags hung out upstairs near the end of 2007, due to the ever-changing setup with our new upstairs hangout area.

Background:
Last January I was asked to trap feral cats in a neighborhood downtown. While trapping, this elderly female was an unintended capture. My vet informed me that she was already spayed.... so back to her hideaway she went. I later found out that the people in the building had trapped & spayed her back in 1997 and being a feral cat, they allowed her to live under the building providing food but not much else.
Fast forward to last week: the tax accountant people moved out of the building last month and the owner of the building wanted the cat removed. ..or else he'd board up the crawl space with her trapped inside. I wasn't about to let that happen.
It wasn't easy...crawling on hands & knees on top of insulation covered cat feces & urine in the darkness of the crawl space under the building [see comments]. I should have worn a mask/ respirator but didn't think to take one from home.
Long story short--I was able to capture her with my fishing net---and kept her from wiggling out of the net while I crawled backwards out of the crawlspace and up thru the floor opening ......and successfully untangled her into my crate w/out her escaping. Whew!
My friend [who had asked me to trap the cats originally] took her to her vet. According to her vet, this cat is about 17 years old. She has glaucoma in her eyes--very painful condition and a mysterious growth/ lump in her abdomen. I left it up to my friend to make the decision to euthanize or not. I trust her to make the most humane/ compassionate decision. I'm just glad we got her out from under the house....and that she will no longer suffer in pain from health issues that were apparent even when I trapped her last winter.
Blogged. This is one of the first photos I ever made, for a grade school project on Neanderthal Man.
Went into the crawlspace earlier and found some of my old toy cars from childhood. This was my favorite from my collection, a late 70's Ford Bronco (unknown co.). Had its share of offroading in the muddy backyard. The lightbar's a replacement for the original, and the plastic window's been long gone.

...Like a little bitch. Honestly though, getting the subfloor ready to hardwood. Additionally we spent untold hours in the dank crawlspace leveling all the floors, putting in supports, and then i screwed down the entire floor in the attempt to minimize squeaks. Soon it will all pay off?
While back-packing around New Zealand, Christ's College was my place of employment for several months--no I wasn't on the faculty staff--I washed dishes. The kitchen is located at the corner-window and the building on the left is the dining hall. The inside of the hall had row upon row of long tables and at the appointed times the hall would fill to capacity with uniformed kids to have their meals. Hanging on the walls were oil paintings depicting all the famous people who had passed through this college as students, including numerous prime ministers. In a crawlspace under the kitchen floor there was graffiti etched in the brick from the late 1800s! Miss Bishop was in charge of kitchen staff.

Protects eyes nose mouth face from environmental or chemical hazards great for using with strong ammonia cleaning products or crawling through attic or crawlspace without the bother of irritation in your nostrils or eyes. This item is being sold in target buyer areas on eBay and craigslist I'm just putting it up at my garage sale for viewing this will not be at $10-$15 item I will be asking for what it's worth which is somewhere in the 100- 120 range.
This is another view of the same worker, replacing the old plastic vents on our roof with new metals ones. In all, 12 vents were replaced.
Regular followers will remember that in April we got five inches of rain in one night, and some of that found its way inside our house. Here's the rest of the story:
* I went into the attic (crawlspace, really) and determined that all the leaks were from roof vents.
* Insurance adjuster visited a few days later. He found damage to some shingles, our fence, and the interior (drywall and paint, mostly). But when it came to the roof vents, which I told him were leaking, he said they were not damaged, but simply "not installed correctly", which is weird, because they've been fine for more than six years, and all of a sudden some of them leaked dramatically. But it meant the insurance wouldn't pay for them.
* We got a check from the insurance company for the interior damage, lifted shingles, and fence -- none of which were as important to me as the leaky vents.
* Called a roofing company and set an appointment for an estimate. They called to postpone, saying there were vehicle problems. Then they never showed up or called again.
* Called a second roofing company, which showed up to do an estimate last week. They found damage to half of our 12 roof vents, all of which were plastic and flimsy. The damage was cracks along the upper edge, most likely caused by (1) weak materials and (2) constant exposure to the sun. We agreed to replace all 12 vents with metal ones.
* On Wednesday, May 31, they returned and replaced all 12 vents in the afternoon.

Rats and rodents are considered to be one of the filthiest animals found in the planet. Rats are known to carry unwanted viruses and diseases which can be a health hazard for humans, both children and adults. Rats and rodents are very unsanitary, and they can contaminate your home rapidly if they are not extracted on time. These pests typically attack the attic and can multiply in numbers fast. While living in your home, they will urinate and defecate just about at any place convenient for them. Rat's are attracted to insulation because they can burrow under them and hide.
Wild animals such as raccoons, skunks, or even opossums were once not often present or seen in city or urban areas. With less and less land for wild animals to reside in, it is no longer uncommon to find them breaking into attics and crawlspaces of a home. Wild animals trespassing into homes are usually there as a place for security to give birth or provide a safe place for their offspring. It's highly advised that when you are hearing unusual noises in your attic or have witnessed wild animals at your property to have them removed immediately. Wild animals can be aggressive and dangerous to the residence of the home, especially if they are protecting their young.
As a company rest assure that A Team Rodent and Wildlife Control Services employs a team of highly qualified specialist that is ready to help you get rid of rats and wildlife problems.

This warehouse is used for the storage of evidence from Chicago & Cook County crimes, including those of serial killer John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
Among the grisly artifacts stored here are the door to Gacy's crawlspace where he buried nearly 30 young men and boys, personal items of his victims, a ligature Gacy used for strangulation, and samples of Gacy's blood.
